RUMORS surrounding sportscaster Kay Adams' next landing spot have mounted following her departure from Good Morning Football.
Adams' name has reportedly been linked to an upcoming "SportsCenter-style" TV show, which is expected to be launched by the sports gambling company FanDuel in September.
According to Legal Sports Report, a website that covers the sports gambling businesses, FanDuel is “aiming” to turn the TVG horse racing network their parent company Flutter owns into FanDuel TV – a 24-hour content network featuring studio programming and live sports.
The outlet reports, citing internal documents, that FanDuel intends to rebrand the network by September, in time for football season.
There are also "clear indications" that there are plans for Adams to host a “SportsCenter-style” show in the 7am hour, Legal Sports Report claims.
"FanDuel is aiming to rebrand its TVG racing channel to FanDuel TV as part of a plan to create the first ‘watch and wager’ TV network in the US, including a potential big-name acquisition in former NFL Network host Kay Adams," the report stated, per the outlet.
